    Whoops.

    Yep. Looks that way. People (including me) got all excited before seeing the handles and other features. Weird angle.

    The "3" should have the nose of the Model X! The 3 front end looks like it plowed into a wall! :eek:

    The reservation count is now over 325,000 in just these few days - a new record for any model car - much less for a model release via word of mouth - no commercial advertising !! I'd hate to be at the back of THAT line

    You could grow old, gray, and decrepit (or worse) during the wait. :(

    can you take delivery, and resell at a profit to someone desperate?

    Given depreciation the moment you take ownership, and the fact that production will be at very high numbers, your window would be very small.
    You would probably make more money buying TSLA;)

    sure, but if you get one in late '17, there will be people who want them, and can't get one for a few years. unless production catches up that soon.

    First, I doubt they will have a 100% conversion rate (although wouldn't that be cool!).
    Second, by 2020 Tesla plans to be making 500,000 cars a year. By the end of 2019 I expect they will have the current reservations cleared, more likely earlier in the year.
